He actually was the Subdivision Planner before Chance Bukoski and went to work in the private sector for some time, and has seen the light and has decided to return to the family. Kenny’s here and he is able to jump right in and get his hands right in to the thick of it because of his familiarity and previous history with both the Planning Department and the Subdivision.

Mr. Estes: It is recommended that an extension until January 22, 2022, be granted to obtain final subdivision approval. Chair DeGracia: Thank you. Do we have any questions for the Department? Commissioner Chiba, any questions? Kenney, I have one question, for Condition J, the Workforce Housing can you give me a little bit more information on that, please. Mr. Estes: So if Dale can help me out with answering that Condition. Mr. Hull: I can jump in Chair. So the Workforce Housing is a requirement that if either a subdivision or a permit application will result in ten (10) or more housing units, there is an assessment of providing either direct actual additional housing that is specific for affordable units under the County Housing Ordinance or a payment to the Housing Agency. And that threshold is generally I think, for this application would be in the 20% to 30% range of providing for housing of its total amount, but that range can also be reduced if there are other provisions, which payments are made directly for lower income qualifiers. So its range which is quite honestly between 15% - 30% of their capable housing (inaudible) has to be done for the affordable units, but they essentially, negotiate that out with the Housing Agency and the Housing Agency will make the final determination of what they are accepting. And so Adam folks haven’t made a final determination, but they are working with the applicant on it. Chair DeGracia: Thank you Director, I have no further questions for the Department. Could we hear from the applicant or the representative? Hearing no response, I am assuming, at this time I will entertain a motion. Mr. Chiba: Okay, I move to approve an extension until January 22, 2022, for Subdivision Application for No. S-2019-8 along with the updated requirement for a Status Report. 5 Chair DeGracia: Thank you Commissioner. Our motion is to approve Tentative Subdivision Extension request Application No. S-2019-8. Commissioner, is there any opposition to this motion? Here no opposition I will assume that the motion will pass. Deputy County Attorney Laura Brazilai: Excuse me Chair. Chair DeGracia: Yes. Ms. Brazilai: You can ask for a vote. Chair DeGracia: Okay. All in favor? Aye. (Unanimous voice vote). Mr. Chiba: Aye. Chair DeGracia: Any opposed? Hearing none. Motion carried 2:0. Final Subdivision Map Approval.

NEW BUSINESS (For Action) Tentative Subdivision Extension Request. Subdivision Application No. S-2005-41 Visionary LLC. Ahukini Makai Subdivision 49-lot Subdivision TMKs: (4) 3-7-002:001(por.) Hanama’ulu, Lihu’e, Kauai Mr. Hull: New Business. I.1, for action. Subdivision Application No. S-2005-41 Visionary LLC. 3 Ahukini Makai Subdivision 49-lot Subdivision TMKs: (4) 3-7-002:001(por.) located in Hanama’ulu, Lihu’e, Kauai. I will turn it over to Kenneth Estes for the Report pertaining to this matter. Staff Planner Kenneth Estes: Good morning, Commissioners. I will read the Report for the record. The proposed subdivision established with a total of 40-lots, 4 bulk lots that can be further developed, 3 roadway lots, 2 remnant lots within the (inaudible) Makai of Kapule Highway and Ahukini Road intersection, adjacent to the Airport (inaudible). Mr. Estes read the Subdivision Report for the record (on file with the Planning Department). Mr. Estes: It is recommended that an extension until March 09, 2022, be granted to obtain final subdivision approval. Chair DeGracia: Thank you. At this time, if we could hear from the applicant. Or if there are any question from the planner first? Apologies. Mr. Ho: Mr. Chair. Kenny, this application has been on the books for quite a while now. Is he close to final review? Has anything been given to you that he approaches final subdivision approval? Mr. Estes: Yes, Commissioner. The applicant has submitted their final pre-subdivision maps. I believe they are choosing to bond the subdivision, so we have received final recommendations from Department of Water and I believe they applicant still has to work with the Department of Public Works and Health to obtain their final comments. Mr. Ho: Let me try to locate this a little better. This goes from the Hanama’ulu stop light to the Airport Road, is that correct? Mr. Estes: Yes, so if you are at the Ahukini and Kapule intersection and heading towards the Hanama’ulu Bridge, it will be on your right hand side. The property is adjacent to the Airport Facility. Mr. Ho: The property, does it cross the river, that bridge? Or is it all on the Hanama’ulu side of the bridge? (Inaudible)? Mr. Estes: Yes, it is all on the Airport side of the bridge. Mr. Ho: On the Airport side of the bridge? Mr. Estes: Yes. Mr. Ho: Okay. Is there any physical work that can be seen? Is there any grubbing of the land? Is work being laid out? Or is there a job shack on the property? 4 Mr. Estes: That, I am not sure. I would like to defer that question to the applicant. I am not sure if there is any grading, I believe the answer is no to that. Mr. Ho: One last thing, we might have to ask the applicant. Does he have enough time, as this is a one-year extension? Is that enough time for him to get his final in to us? Do you think? Or do you want to ask Visionary LLC.? Mr. Estes: Yes. I would like to ask them. Mr. Ho: Okay. Thank you, Kenneth. Mr. Estes: Thank you. Chair DeGracia: Are there any further questions for the planner? Mr. Chiba: No. Chair DeGracia: Yes, just a comment. Kenny, I noticed that that last approval for extension was granted on July 12, 2019, so I guess in reference to Commissioner Ho’s comment that this one was going for maybe about almost two years now or a year and a half. This next one is just about a year, so I was leaning towards wondering if that one year is sufficient? But I guess that is a question that we can ask the applicant. Mr. Estes: Yes. Chair DeGracia: Okay, seeing no further questions, at this time, could we hear from the Applicant? Mr. William Eddy: Good morning, Commissioners. My name is William Eddie, with Kodani Associates Engineers and we are here at the Kauai Kodani Associates office in the room is Shawn Shimabukuro and Dave Imaizumi from Grow Farm, and they are they are representing the owners of the property which is Visionary LLC., Visionary being a subsidiary of Grow Farm. In addition, here with us at the table is Tyler (inaudible) from Kodani Associates. Chair DeGracia: Good morning. Mr. Eddy: Okay. We are actively working on this project at Kodani and at Grow Farms. It is a very complex project. It’s a balance of the State Highway, Kapule Highway, and also abuts the Airport, Lihue Airport and both of those transportation agencies, Highway and Airports are very much involved in this project, we are working closely with a couple of those agencies. The other government agencies involved are Department of Water and Department of Public Works. Public Works has two Divisions involved, it has Waste Water Division and we have Engineering Division. We have working for many years with all of these agencies and we are very close to getting approvals from these agencies. The other entities involved are the utilities, which would be Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC), Hawaiian Telcom, and Spectrum Cable. 5 The whole subdivision is underground utilities so all of those three Hawaiian Telcom, KIUC, and Spectrum all are underground. So from an engineering side its challenge is all of this infrastructure underground and getting all the agencies to be satisfied with how they all fit together in this puzzle. So we are back to the point where we are pretty much satisfied with all of those requirements from the agencies and we are putting together some final plans and we do expect to get to final plans this year. I am not exactly sure on the…we are talking about the length of time, of one-year if (inaudible) extension or possibly two-year. I am not sure; maybe if I could ask the Planning Department what constitutes the start of a project? One of the Commissioners mentioned if there is any physical work on the property. There has not been. Before you can do any grubbing or grading, you need a permit from the County and we have submitted all Engineering Documents to get the grading permits but typically, grading permits are not issued until a contractor is reading to start digging and then the contractor will go in and pay the fees involved and also, post a bond. So we are not at that stage, but I can say we are at the stage immediately before that. Mr. Ho: Would this one-year extension request, would that be sufficient for you to bring the final plan to us? Mr. Eddy: Yes, we expect that would be sufficient to bring the final plans. To get to final plans and we hope to even go out to final bid and be contracted with a general contractor to start the work. Now the project entails (inaudible) three large segments on the building side. There is what we call the offsite work, which is the highway work, which is done on Kapule Highway and actually stretches to opposite side of Ahukini Road, which is called the Kauai Veterans Memorial Highway. There is a sewer line, which actually extends from Ahukini Road towards Kaana Street, and so that is part of the Kauai Veterans Memorial Highway. There is the offsite segment that includes water utilities of a highway and sewer utilities of a Highway. It also entails widening of Kapule Highway to allow for an intersection for the subdivision’s major ingress and egress route that is the connection to Kapule Highway. That would be offsite segment. And the onsite segment is where we got the subdivision plans and that encompasses all the grading work, underground utilities, and roadways. Also, involved in the onsite is wastewater pump station with wastewater notice in the lower end, the lower elevation (inaudible) project and its pumped back up and eventually goes to the Lihue Wastewater Treatment Plant. So to try and answer your question, we do expect get final plans this year. I am not exactly sure with the Planning Departments criteria about when the transfer is made between the design and planning stage and the construction stages. Does this tentative approval need to carry us in to construction? Or does it need to carry us through construction? Mr. Ho: Thank you for your response. Can I address his question to Grow Farm, to Ms. Shimabukuro there? Are there any of those lots that are due to come out of the 49-lots, are there any… how do we…workforce housing or (inaudible) income housing lots proposed to that subdivision? 6 Ms. Shawn Shimabukuro: I would like Mr. Imaizumi, Dave Imaizumi to respond to that, as he is overseeing this project. Mr. Dave Imaizumi: Commissioner Ho, on this project, it’s an industrial subdivision so for this particular subdivision, there is no (inaudible) housing requirements or work first housing requirements that will be implemented. Mr. Ho: Thank you. Mr. DeGracia: Do we have any further questions for the applicant? Questions? Well I have a comment for the applicant as well.

Francis DeGracia,Chairman August13,2021 Page2 Collateral Agreement: As a result ofthe original developer's (K382's)failure to complete the subdivision improvements the County of Kaua'i (County)and the Kulana Association ofApartment Owners (Kulana AOAO)entered into a a Collateral Agreement,which was subsequently ratified by the 5th Circuit Court on September 14,2016.The Collateral Agreement stipulated a five (5)year completion time frame,generating a required completion date ofSeptember13,2021. Design /Plan Recertification Phase: The Kulana AOAO and its engineer Bow Engineering &Development,Inc.(Bow) initiated formal activities to resubmit and secure the County's recertification ofthe project's improvement plan sets immediately after the 5th Circuit Courts ratification of the Collateral Agreement.A tabular summary of the plan set approvals and as-built status is furnished below: Plan Set Initial Submittal Approval Date As-built Date Hauiki Road Improvements 4/7/17 9/1/17 (DOW)/10/10/18 |6/10/21 (DPW)[(DOW) Ka'apuni Road Improvements 5/22/17 2/5/18 (DPW) Kulana Place Improvements [4/7/17 Phase 1,Onsite Water SystemT2/15/T7 10/30/17 (DPW) 2/22/18 (DOW)9/10/20 (DOW) i Phase 1,Offsite Water &0.25 1 MG Water Tank 2/15/17 3/18/18 (DOW)6/10/21 (DOW) Phase 1,Onsite Roadways 4/7/17 10/30/17 (DPW) Phase 2,Roadways &Onsite Water System 2/15/17 7/11/19 (DOW)/8/21/19 (DPW) Olohena Road Driveways 12/12/16 110/30/17 (DPW) Subdivision Map,Modified i 1/8/19 (Planning) Subdivision Agreement, Restated 11/26/18 (Planning) Construction Phase: Concurrent with the approval and recertification ofthe project's improvement plans,the Kulana AOAO developed construction bid documents and solicited bids for all subdivision improvements,which were not completed by the project's original developer Kapa'a 382,LLC.(K382).Upon receipt of bids the Kulana AOAO entered into four (4) construction contracts with Earthworks Pacific Incorporated.

COVID Delavs: The State of Hawaii suspended all construction work in March 27,2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.At the time ofthe suspension street improvement work within the Phase 1 area was approximately 90%complete.Waterline testing, disinfection and connection was approximately 50%completed.And,mass grading activities within the Phase 2 areas were substantially in progress. Work suspensions were lifted on May 4th,2020.However,the projects continue to experience impacts associated with inter-island travel restrictions,material availability and wet summer weather (Hurricane Douglas)for the remainder of 2020.Inter-island travel restrictions from and to the island of Maui resulted in significant impacts to water line disinfection and connection activities.Chlorinating personnel located on Maui were required to quarantine for a period of2-weeks after returning from outer islands.This effectively made them unavailable to support work on the island of Kauai. Proiect Financin.q: The project is 100%owner financed with cash deposits bythe members ofthe Kulana AOAO into a development escrow account held by Title Guaranty (escrow account).There are no external bank financed loans or project liens.The escrow account current holds cash funds as required to secure final completion of the project. 6/26/18 Phase 1,On-site &Offsite Water Improvements $993,712 95% 'awh i 8/2/18 Phase 1,Street &Dry Utility Improvements $1,120,930 19/5/19 Phase 2,Street,Water &Dry Utility Improvements $6,884,313 95% 1 Total $9,176,955 | Francis DeGracia,Chairman August13,2021 Page 4 In conclusion,you can see that so much has been done and this subdivision is almost at the finish point;and completion is anticipated within the next 12 months.We are hoping all agency reviews can accommodate this timeframe and no unforeseen punchlist work is identified during the course of our final inspections,and Covid-19 delays are not too impactful.Therefore,we are requesting a one year extension.

Kilauea means "spewing,"like the Big Island's active caldera.Nihoku is located in the coastal zone Special Management Area and within a Scenic/Ecologic Resources (ST-R]special treatment district.The area offers sweeping vistas of both Halele'a and Ko'olau districts and is one of Hawai'i s most important sea bird nesting sites.Nihoku is also uniquely culturally significant as a site ofmultiple mo'olelo and ongoing Native Hawaiian traditional and customary practices. Geologic Significance Nihoku is a volcanic crater rising 560 feet above the shoreline on the north-east side ofthe Island ofKaua'i. The crater is part ofthe late-stage Koloa Volcanlc series that covers most of Kaua'i's east side, erupting through large fissure-like fractures in the shield volcanic dome ofthe earlier Wai'ala'ale series.Other Koloa series craters and land forms indude Nomilu and cinder cones along the Po'ipu coastline. The exact age of Nihoku's eruption is still undetermined and likely ranges from .5-2 million years ago. Only 1/3 ofthe volcano complex still exists,the rest having fallen into the sea.[t likely had a former dlameter ofat least 1.2 mlles,large enough to encompass Diamond Head. Nihoku's volcanic eruptions produced ash that continues to enrich surrounding soils. Nihoku is one of the highest cliff points along the northeastern coast of Kaua'i. The mountain offers a significant vantage point and location for atmospheric and phenological observations,connecting indicators such as plant flowering and bird nesting to annual weather patterns and climate change. Soils of Crater Hill consist primarily of Lihu'e Silty Clay;deep,nearly level to steep,well-drained soils that have a fine textured or moderately fine textured subsoil.These soils are well to excessively drained,found on very steep to precipitous mountains and gulches. SUMMARY:Nihoku is a unique geologic feature of Kaua'i and all of Hawai'i,from which it is possible to teach and observe the geologic history ofthe islands,erosion processes and impacts ofclimate change,The proposed house would be the highest structure ever built on Nihoku,located directly below the narrowest point ofthe crater rim.Excavation into the subject parcel's steep hillside should be minimized due to the area's sensitive geology and susceptibility to erosion. Ecological Significance •Approximately half the lands that make up Nihokii,along with Wowoni point to the west,site of Kilauea lighthouse and Mokolea point to the east,fall within the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge due to their sensitive ecology and significant seabird habitat. •Nihoku is a significant geological feature that impacts atmospheric processes such as rainfall and wind patterns along the northeastern coastline of Kaua'i. •This area comprises one ofthe largest seabird nesting colonies in the Main Hawaiian Islands. •Ten different sea and shorebird specles nest here including 'a (red footed booby],moli (laysan albatross],ua'u kani [wedge tailed shearwaters),koa'e kea and ula [red and white tailed tropic birds),and 'iwa (great frigate birds). •Some birds are threatened and endangered specles such as nene (Hawaiian geese - endangered),and a'o (newell's shearwater -threatened). •Nihoku is also site ofa predator prooffence where chicks ofboth a'o (newell's shearwater)and the (ua u]endangered Hawaiian petrel are being relocated from mountain nesting areas of Kaua i.Chicks ofboth species can no longer survive in the wild due to predation by feral cats. •Moli (laysan albatross]chicks from the Pacific Missile Range Facility at Polihale are also relocated to Kilauea refuge lands. •Nihoku is a signlflcant high-island refugia for the mass exodus of populations of millions of seabirds and shorebirds in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI]whose nesting grounds are already being impacted by sea level rise and climate change. •The higher slopes of Nihoku,including the subject parcel,are home to native pueo (Hawaiian short-eared owl),which are ground nesting field hunters,Pueo are listed as endangered on O'ahu and have high mortality rates on the island of Kaua'i from undetermined causes potentially linked to human impact.(Note:the Hawai'i state legislature in 2021 passed a resolution asking DOFAW to request review by USFWS ofpueo for endangered species listing across Hawai'i.) •Nihoku is also home to the endangered hoary bat (ope'ape'a),the only land animal native to the Hawaiian archipelago. •Seabirds require expanses of open space in which to land and soar and are highly sensitive to Hght interference.Development ofhomes on agricultural lands surrounding the refuge shrinks habitat and potentially impacts bird populations. •Proactive efforts to cultivate and increase wllderness habitats,as well as environmental restoration efforts in the Main Hawaiian Islands,are critical,especially in areas with established seabird nesting habitats. SUMMARY:The subject parcel adjoins the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on two sides of the property.The proposed house site would comprise the closest development to existing seabird nesting areas,some of the most critical in all of Hawai'i.The subject parcel is likely suitable habitat for moli (laysan albatross),ua'u kani (wedge tail shearwaters),and nene,all of which nest just on the other side ofthe fence separating the property from refuge lands.These species have been spotted on the subject parce],along with pueo.With seabirds'primary habitat in the NWHI shrinking due to sea level rise,Nihokii and the surrounding refuge lands are the most likely suitable relocation site. It is vital to expand protection ofbuffer areas surrounding the refuge and maintain critical habitat rather than threaten its integrity through encroachment. Cultural Signlflcance Nihoku,is a wahi pana,a storied and sacred space,unique in all of Hawai'i. •The wind ofNihokii,ao po'o muku,can be translated as cutting or splitting the tops ofthe clouds. This may refer to the way clouds and incoming weather from the north-east separate at Nihoku. Though small,the mountain blocks wind and storms,sending rain showers either towards the mountains or seaward. •Chants for the area refer to groves of hala and the scent of hinano (hala blossoms)on the mountain. Nihoku is referred to in multiple Hawaiian mo'olelo (chronicles,history,stories]including: •Pele and her siblings mlgrated to Hawai'l from Kahiki as Pele sought to find a home for her fires. This mo olelo shares of Pele digging the volcanic crater of Nihoku,her sister Namakaokaha'i sending crashing waves to destroy it,and ofthe three Kilauea sisters who watched their battle only to be turned to stone by Pele's wrath.A1I three stone sisters stand today on the rim of Nihokii. •Puapualenalena is referred to in an archival chant labeled a hula 'ilio (dog hula]related to Nihoku. Puapualenalena,a trickster kupua or spirit,appearing in this case in dog ('ilio)form may be associated with a heiau located on Nihoku,referred to by Thrum in 1907 as a heiau pa 'ilio. •Menehune jumped from the cliffinto the ocean here as a favored game.They attempted to build a bridge to Makapili islet at the base of Nihoku before being foiled by sunrise.Nihoku is also referred to as a possible home site ofa prominent menehune chief. The area is mentioned in stories ofthe ali'i Lonoikamakahiki and associated with makahiki rituals for the deity Lono,rituals which continue at Nihoku and Mokolea today. Areas visible from Nihokii encompass multiple mo'olelo ofHalele'a and Ko'olau including the mo'olelo ofAahoaka,child ofKaIalea and Koananae with its many characters who are mountains and valleys within sight ofthe hillside.This mo'olelo also speaks oftwo eel siblings who dug sea caves and waterways in the Kilauea area seeking fresh water. Another mo olelo attributes formation of Kilauea plateau and its two surrounding river valleys to Kamo'okoa,a giant mo'o visible from Nihokii along the eastern flank of Namahana mountain. Historical and Ongoing Traditional and Customary Hawaiian Cultural practices at Nihoku: Kilo:Seasonal observation ofweather patterns,star lines and the path ofthe sun and moon over the mauna. Mo'olelo:Perpetuation ofstories ofthe Ko'olau and Halele'a area through visitation and viewing of wahi pana (storied places)that serve as both setting and characters Inoa 'aina:Study,interpretation and perpetuation ofplace names. OIi,haku mele,hula:Composition,and offering ofchants,songs and dance.Halau hula from across Hawai'i and the world,particularly those associated with the volcanic traditions of Pele,study and visit Nihoku and its associated mele. Hulu Manu:Gathering and utilization ofseabird feathers to facilitate teaching and perpetuation of feather arts.Seabirds deflne levels ofthe atmosphere (ao lewa lani lewa,for example,the region where birds soar)as a marker of space and sacredness.They teach about behavior in the way koa'e court and nest,nene guard their young,and 'iwa,though regal,steal food from others rather than working for their own.Their feathers are used in lei design to carry certain qualities,and in ceremonies such as makahiki.They signify royalty and are used to make kahili,such as those at lolani Palace,surrounding Lili'uokalani and Kalakaua. Malama;Care and guardianship ofplaces that embody gods,ancestors,and 'ohana. Lawai'a:Fishing.Nihoku includes a historic fishing trail used by Hawaiians and later Kilauea residents through the plantation era to access Makapili.It is an important spotting site for fish. Ho'okele and Wa'a:Celestial observation and navigation.Nihoku is a key training ground in these arts as well as a key navigational marker for canoes journeyingto,from and around Kaua'i. A'o -Education to perpetuate connection to place along with associated customary practices. SUMMARY:Nihoku is the highest accessible point in much of Ko'olau and Halele'a,situated near where the two moku join.The mountain affords significant and rare views as far as Anahola and Pila'a to the east,past Kalihikai,Wanini,and Hanalei to Ha'ena in the west.This rare vantage point is vital to understanding the entire Ko'olau and Halele'a moku,their mo'olelo,mountains,place names and many wahi pana.Nihoku is a critical kilo or observation point.The proposed home site impacts perpetuation ofmultiple cultural practices connected to the area and the traditional and customary rights associated with each. Past assessments for development surrounding Nihoku,located within Sea Cliff Plantation,including a 2019 Ka Pa'akai Analysis for permitting ofa single family home before the Kaua'i Planning Commission,incorrectly concluded that there is no existing cultural significance or traditional and customary practices for the area.

Na Kia'i o Nihokii (NKOK),a group ofcultural practitioners from the Kilauea area founded in 2016, holds a cultural use permit with the USFWS to escort groups to Nihokii for cultural,educational and ecologlcal restoration purposes.These groups are subject to strict size limitations and access requirements due to the ecological sensitivity ofthe refuge. In their first four years (prior to the coronavirus epidemic),NKOK held 40 events,escorting over 800 individuals to Nihoku including Kaua'i school children,hula halau and other cultural practitioners along with groups like Leadership Kaua'i and Kaua'i Community College Classes.Over halfofthose attending had never been to Nihoku. Removal ofinvasive species by NKOK's volunteer members and groups is crucial to annual preparation ofkipuka ofnative plantings on Nihoku for annual bird nesting seasons. The Kilauea community has also worked to preserve neighboring Kahili beach and estuary, where Kilauea River meets the sea,at the foot of Nihoku.Beach cleanups,begun in the 1990s, continue monthly,along with restoration of native dune habitat. KTlauea community members worked with property owners ofthe dunes at Kahili beach,also once slated for a luxury home,to instead gift that land to the Hawai'i Land Trust (formerly Hawai'i Islands Land Trust.Hawai'i Land Trust works wlth the Kilauea community and USFWS to steward Kahili along with multlple area conservation easements. SUMMARY: The Kilauea community has worked steadily for over fifty years to secure and implement protection of Nihoku and to care for the vital Kilauea landmark.Community members have continually accessed the mountain as part oftheir way oflife and 'ohana experiences.Nihoku rises above the former plantation town and recent agricultural subdivisions sprawling across the former sugar lands providing a place of refuge for the community to learn about Kilauea,spend time together,reconnect, and replenish.The subject parcel is the most sensitive and potentailly impactful ofall the building sites within the Sea Cliff plantation,and possibly in all of Kilauea,because it is the highest and closest to areas ofNihoku still easily and regularly accessed by community members. Community Concerns Regarding Development of Proposed House; The proposed development is situated on a 12.2 acre parcel,consisting of two CPR units.According to the County of Kaua'i real property website,the upper and larger unit is 7.93 acres.The smaller and lower unit is 4.3 acres.Both are owned by the appllcant,who purchased the entire TMK in 2019 for 1.75 million dollars.The proposed size and siting ofthe house prompts multiple community concerns. Size;The proposal indudes extensive developed area of 30,177 square feet within this sensitive site. •The proposed total roofarea is just over 12,000 square feet (12,071 sf)including a main house,garage,and guest house,with an additional 1,283 square feet beyond roofeaves. •The proposal includes excavation ofa nearly 3,000 square foot (2,970 sf)swimming pool. *Driveway and court areas encompass nearly 12,000 additional square feet [11,597 sf),plus 1,581 square feetofpavers (stepping stones)and 675 squarefeetofphotovoltaicpanels. Siting:The selected siting of the house on the upper CPR unit,is one of the steepest sections of hillside.Extensive excavation into the hillside will be required to flatten the lot.The lower, smaller CPR unit is flatter,nestled out ofthe wind and rain storms that funnel around Nihokii. Drainage:The roof,driveways,and impermeable surfaces planned for the parcel with its high elevation and steep terrain along with the grading required to build them pose drainage concerns. *The area's average rainfall is aproximately 65 inches.The lot is subject to high intensity storms and rainfall events,expected to increase with climate change. *The property encompasses a small ravine that drains from the upper reaches of Nihokii into the Sea Cliff storm drain system. *Water from storm drains at Sea Cliff funnels into a drainage that washed out the Rock quarry road to Kilauea Bay in 2019,the only public access from Kilauea town.The county roadway remains closed. Water:Kilauea's water infrastructure is at capacity,which impacts available water for housing and agriculture.There is some question ofwhether existing water pressure is adequate to feed development at this height without impacting other Kilauea water users. Llghts:Light interference critically impacts threatened and endangered species such as newell shearwaters and Hawaiian petrel,both ofwhich nest near the subject property.Lights also impact the traditional and customary practice of celestial navigation and observance of stars. Climate Change:Community concerns also emphasize the increasing sensitivity and importance ofthe site in the face ofclimate change.Climate change is projected to increase rainfall intensity and speed up erosion rates,while also leading to longer dry periods and enhanced fire risk.The exposed nature and strong winds ofthe Nihoku portion ofthe refuge and adjoining lands increase chances of wildfire,exacerbated by the year-round growing season for vegetation.Increasingly rapid sea level rise in the northwest Hawaiian islands makes it vital to protect and expand seabird habltat at Nihoku. •The Kilauea Neighborhood Assoclation (KNA)submitted a letter to the Planning Department in June 2021 supporting the proposed SMA permit application.However,the letter noted that some Kilaueans have legitimate concerns regarding the development,which the KNA Board urged be addressed "in a manner that satisfies all KIIaueans and allows us to thrive and move forward into the future as one unified community." •Many Kilauea community members are still learning about the proposed house development and permlt. •Na Kia'i o Nihoku and other Kilaueans have articulated proposed conditions to mitigate impacts ofthe home and have been meetingwith the homeowners to discuss them. 1)Decreasethe size ofthe house 2)Minimize excavation and grading into the hillside 3]Move the house down the mountain to the lower 4.3 acre CPR unit,further from the refuge 4)Lowerthe roofline 5)Combine the two CPR lots within the TMK so that it remains one large property with one house and owner,preventing subsequent sale ofthe second lot and possible further development. 6]Perpetual protection for the land such as a conservation easement with the Hawai'i Land Trust or donation to expand the refuge •'^1^"':"-•••.:".-:^^^'^SS',^°^:£Sw^v^^."..•.,'..^'•'.'.-.''•.'^::':':.--^.'^..^:<.;—^si Land Use and Zoning •Nihoku s land use designation is Conservation and Agricultural at the state level,Natural and Open at the county level.The 2020 Kaua'i general plan states:"Areas designated as Natural have either limited development capacity or are not suitable for development due to topography, hazards vulnerability,sensitive resources,and other constraints.Very few residential uses are found in the Natural designation and are generally not encouraged." •Comprehensive zoning Ordinance article 11 -sec.8.11 requires that the Planning Commission ensure that development within special treatment areas recognizes,preserves,maintains, and contributes to the enhancement ofthose characteristics ofparticular significance or value to the general public (because ofunique or critical cultural,physical or locational characteristics). •North shore zoning maps have not been updated slnce the North Shore Development PIan Update in 1979,adopted by the Kaua'i Planning Commission in 1983.However,Nihoku and surrounding parcels meet requirements ofthe following special treatment districts: a)Cultural/Historic (ST-C).Communities and land or water areas which have a particular and unique value to the general public because of significant historic background,structures,or landforms. b)Scenic/Ecologic Resources (ST-R).Land and water areas which have unique natural forms, blologic systems,or aesthetic characteristics which are ofparticular significance and value to the general public. c)Open Space (ST-0).Areas which,pursuant to Article 9 ("Open Districts"),have been designated as "open space"areas. d]Coastal Edge (ST-CE).Areas that are highly vulnerable to coastal hazards,including but not limited to sea level rise,coastal eroslon,high wave run-up,passive flooding,and an increased frequencyandintensityofstorms.(Ord.No.935,November 14,2012;Ord.No.1085, December 3,2020] •Nihokii and the subject parcel are within the designated Scenic/EcologicaI Resources (ST-R) Special Treatment District. •The Kilauea town plan identifies views from Nihoku as part of Kilauea's assets and a desire to retain Kilauea's rural charm and scenic landscapes. SUMMARY The subject parcel is located within multiple protective county level zoning designations:natural, open,SMA,and special treatment resource district,all ofwhich recognize its limited development capacity due to topography,hazards vulnerability and sensitive ecological and scenic resources. 10 UMUGHIHOUSESEitVICE KiUUEARO ILOOAuis VtniiBcMitiiyiilctifil;-. ^MM-^-»<a^ UNnED STATES OF AMERICA ^LWAcm Vtew:n6(>crt]51.tttt.elinclninell/J[[EaeniS ^LJBSOI UN1TID OTATCS Of AMEBICA f7M»avs VleuKREwwll MateseEZi UN 1 Ttt)STATES OF AME ItlCA 7.47 Acm •BCH£ilI Shcltlics 1 Pli tomtilrTLjs^E£[Y^£wyi!c MjDSflt <jREEN.PH [LIPJJFITRUST CBEEN.UNDAMTRUST HAWAIIAN ISIANM LANO TBUST WAILAIURD GREEH.PHILIPJJFirdUCT GllEEN.tlNDAMTftUST 4WACIS /lewgsadlSi'etrisiiei HAWAIIAN 1SIAN DS LW D TRUST U^OAtTTS VBW B£ii2a1 Stelttei t £" yai&SB COUNnOFKAUAI WAILAPARD Z.MAcrs £hH|P SOMEBS^HARLES M TRU^r WEST SUNSE7 32 PHASE 1 LLC lS57KAHIUWW[|lYRt) uisaiais VIW.Rencirt I Sketcbt-i 1 Pjct; Malrioincr Rlrul 10520040640001 Acnaga 7.934 a*u AG Brinf Tkx OuCTtptton Kha/PhyilcaIAddi MalllniAAireu TotalMarket^lue $U)25.400 GRE EN.PH lUPJJRTRUffT TotalAsseswdniue tl,02S,400 POBOXS4 TotalDiunptlofn SO KllAUEAHt96754 TotaINetTuuhteV.ilue SU25.-)00 UNmS£ACUFFKILOHANACM5A43TaG/UN050XINTINALLCOMMONELEMENTS (Nole:Not to be used on [egal dimjmentsl UstZSato Date Prke Reaian S/7/2019 (1750000 VALID SALE 11 Listoflmages: Page 1: 1}View of Nihoku Crater and Makapill islet within.Mokolea point in the distance suggests the size ofthe original crater before it eroded into the ocean (page 1).

Aloha planning Chair Apisa,vice chair Cox,honorable Kauai planning commissioners,Director,Deputy Director,and staff, My name is Erica Taniguchi,Anahola resident,born and raised on Kauai.1 am writing you to testify in opposition to the requested special management area use permit,use permit,and class IV zoning permit for Sea Cliff plantation lot 11-Aat Nihoku. The Nihoku area is culturally and environmentally significant and sensitive.It is a famed wahi pana of Hawaii,and home and nesting area of several endangered native birds,our moli,uau kani,koae,and purple.Nihoku is also a place that many in the community,including myself and 2 sons,enjoy as a source of tranquility and place to connect with nature and observe our native birds.As such,the area has been classified as an area deserving of "special management".The Kilauea community has worked for over 40 years to preserve the mountainside of Nihoku from disturbance.The proposed house development is over 12,000 square feet at the highest point of the of the property, excessively close to the bird sanctuary and further degrading the natural environment of a peaceful area we all enjoy.. In addition to the main 12,000 square foot house,the proposal includes a guest house,pool,covered lanais,garage, port cochere,and driveways that bring the total print in the land to over 30,000 square feet!This is painful.It feels like yet another "hotel-like"development in our small residential communities,further displacing our generational ohanas and native species with insensitive developments and all ofthe negative economic and environmental impacts that follow. We respectfully ask that this request be denied,and the developer consider significantly downsizing the size of the development,and moving its location to a lower point on the property so as to minimize its environmental impact. Mahalo all ofyou foryourtime and efforts in reviewingthesetestimoniesand makingdecisionsthatwill protect Kauai's environment forour futuregenerations.This island truly is unique and irreplaceable.It is deservingofexceptional care,preservation and management.

I understand how amazing it must be for you to have this opportunity to build your dream estate however I've heard you care about and are willing to work with the community so please understand that everyone loves Kilauea for it's country lifestyle.The beautiful mountain views and majestic ocean cliffs surrounding the town are breathtaking and little by little they keep getting developed and as more time goes by there are fewer and fewer open spaces.Please do not be the one to take such a significant chunk out of the landscape.Large developments can be seen as a sore reminder of the encroachment on the natural surroundings which make Kaua'i what it is.Please also consider your encroachment onthe animalswho have called thiswildlife refuge home long before all ofus.Make us all proud thatyou're notjust another developer doing their own thing and please show that you actually care about our community and keep it small and camouflage.

Crater Hill is a needed relocation site for bird populations from the northwest Hawaiian islands whose habitat is shrinking due to sea level rise. •The property is within a county natural land use designation,open zoning and a Scenic/Ecologic Resources (ST-R)special treatment district area.This requires the Commission to protect land and water areas with unique natural forms,biologic systems,and characteristics of significance and value to the general public. •Proposed excavation into the steep hillside would be damaging due to the area's sensitive geology and vulnerability to erosion.The footprint of the house is much too large and located too high for this sensitive site. •The KTIauea community has worked to protect the slopes of Nihoku from development for over forty years.

OCT26 2021 Septemberl2,2021 Aloha Planning Commission Chair Apisa,Vice-Chair Cox,Honorable Kaua'i Planning Commissioners, Director,Deputy Director and Staff: My name is Mehana Vaughan.1 have lived in KTIauea all my life,just across the plateau from Nihoku. My husband and 1 are raising our three children in KTIauea and our 'ohana spends extensive time weeding and teaching about the area.1 am testifying in opposition to the requested Special Management area Use Permit,Use Permit &Class IV Zoning Permit for Sea Cliff Plantation Lot 11-A. 1 have been engaged in negotiations with the Green s surrounding the circumstances oftheir proposed home and 1 would first like to say that they are good people.Unlike many applicants who come before you,the Green's are not recent arrivals,but upstanding members of the KTIauea community for over a decade,who participate in community organizations and contribute to multipte community causes. The issue at hand today is not the applicant but how the planning commission can fulfill your obligations to protect the significant cultural and ecological resources of Nihoku in perpetuity. Nihoku,from base to crest,soils to soaring manu,Mokolea to Wowoni,is a wahi pana,a storied and sacred space unique in all of Hawai'i.It is the volcanic crater which gives KTIauea our name,producing the ash that continues to nourish cultivation of surrounding areas.It is the primary place on the KTIauea plateau untouched by the bulldozing and intense land use of sugar,whose highest fields ended just across the street from the subject parcel.It is our guardian mountain,with its ao po'o muku wind, which splits the predominant clouds and weather rolling from the north-east,sending rains toward the mountains,and the Kauape'a wind to sea.This single mauna,with its eroding crater and stories ofthe voyages and interactions of Pele and her siblings,brings together both the youngest and olders parts of our island chain,from the active caldera of the other KTIauea,to the eroding kupuna islands of the north west. 1 have been fortunate to bring many groups to Nihoku over the years,and am always amazed by how this place touches them.1 have watched hula practitioners on their way to uniki ceremonies at Ke Ahu a Laka heiau in Ha'ena pause to oli and hula for Pele as iwa swirl above.Kaua'i leaders in training sit just above the proposed home site,looking out at the view to silently contemplate next steps in their journey.And KTIauea school kids eagerly point out homes in KTIauea town,understanding their bike ride to school,grandma's house and the soccer field,their lives,in a whole new way from above.I've watched teenagers whose Friday night lights have been compromised to protect shearwaters get down on their hands and knees to see one for the first time eye to eye,exclaiming,"Aunty,there's an egg!" Just last week 1 weeded aside a newly nine year old who has worked at Nihoku her entire life,pulling prickly lantana to make space for nene nesting.Giggling she told me,"Aren't the birds going to be surpised when they see what we did!" Those testifying today and working to protect Nihoku are following in the footsteps of past generations of KTIaueans,from the three stone sisters who continue to stand watch over Crater Hill today,to the leaders of our parents'time who formed the KTIauea Neighborhood Association,intervened against the Sea Cliff Plantation Development,and worked to acquire the existing refuge lands of Nihoku.They were forced to compromise in many ways because the powers that be and organizations asked to help at the time,did not see the value these KTIaueans saw in the place.Once the place was protected, however,its ecological value quickly became apparent.The birds began to return in large numbers,to nest and to thrive.Cultural practices were also able to flourish once again,to be rediscovered, retaught,and now shared for the keiki of KTIauea.The set backs and conditions negotiated in the 1980s should not be interpreted as firm lines that applicants build right up to the very edges of,but as hard-won acknowledgements of the sensitivity and significance of this site,the need for continued protection. With climate change,foresight and erring on the side of caution is ever more vital as rainfall,flooding and fires intensify on open lands.Sea birds and other endangered and threatened species in the area, such as ope'ape'a (Hawaiian hoary bats)are increasingly losing existing habitat due to development, sea level rise,feral cats in the mountains.Pueo are already endangered on the island of O'ahu,and currently being considered for endangered species listing across all the island s of Hawai'i including Kaua i where they have been dying in large numbers for undetermined reasons.These ground nesting field hunters would be impacted by the proposed development.As these species increasingly need to seek refuge at Nihoku we are reminded to look beyond the confines of what this place is now,to all it will need to shelter in the future. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Our key concerns center on: •Impact on the scenic viewplanes and experience of this essential landmark and place of respite for KTIaueans. •Impact on multiple traditional and customary practices documented and ongoing on the site. •Impacts on drainage,run off,and the integrity of the fragile geology of the area from extensive excavation,driveways,stone walls,roofs,and all ofthe projected construction and site improvements •Impacts on seabirds and other species,at a time when climate change and other impacts beg expanded habitat and protected buffers,not encroachment on existing nesting sites. •The inappropriateness of the proposed house plans for the site and surrounding scenic and ecological areas due to its size and location. We have consistently requested the following mitigations as minimum requirements to make it possible for a house to be built in this area without irreparably damaging the site: Decrease the size of the house Minimize excavation and grading into the hillside Move the house down the mountain to the lower 4.3 acre CPR unit,further from the refuge Lowerthe roofline Combine the two CPR lots within the TMK so that it remains one large property with one house and owner,preventing subsequent sale of the second lot and possible further development. Perpetual protection for the land such as a conservation easement with the Hawai'i Land Trust or donation to expand the refuge This is not a last minute effort to stop a project already in keeping with existing land use designations and zoning laws.The town plan recognizes its essential view scapes.The 2020 general plan,adopted in 2018,designates the area as "Natural,"stating that "Areas designated as Natural have either limited development capacity or are not suitable for development due to topography,hazards vulnerability, sensitive resources,and other constraints.Very few residential uses are found in the Natural designation and are generally not encouraged."The land is zoned open,and located within the special management area.Lastly,the land carries a special treatment district overlay requiring that the Planning Commission ensure that development within ...recognizes,preserves,maintains,and contributes to the enhancement of those characteristics of particular significance or value to the general public (because of unique or critical cultural,physical or locational characteristics).In this case, within the resource special treatment district,those unique characteristics are scenic and ecological, including unique natural forms,biologic systems,or aesthetic characteristics which are of particular significance and value to the general public.No ecological studies have been conducted to ascertain impacts ofthe proposed development on the site. Further,this commission and the county of Kaua'i have an affirmative constitutional duty to preserve and protect native Hawaiian traditional and customary rights.Even if there are no current evidence of TCP existing on the property,native Hawaiians with legitimate claims may still assert these rights because the Supreme Court has held that these rights are not abandoned because of lack of use.Thus if there is evidence of past TCP use,i.e.fishing trail,kilo spots,native plants used for traditional practices,presence of significant cultural resources such as birds,there should be greater inquiry.In this case all of the above exist,along with ongoing and uninterrupted cultural practice.This is a challenging area of law in Hawai'i and we congratulate the Kaua'i Planning Department on your efforts to enhance decision-making and analysis to fulfill this vital constitutional trust duty for Hawai'i. The KTIauea Neighborhood Association submitted a letter supporting the project,and also urging that concerns of many community members be addressed "in a manner that satisfies all KTIaueans and allows us to thrive and move forward into the future as one unified community."Please consider all testimony submitted on this matter as indicative of broad concern and community opposition to this project.We look forward to continuing to work with the Green's to seek resolutions to these challenging issues and seek pono for this place.We will continue to keep all channels of communication with the Green s open and urge all working for protection of this place to engage with both the place and the landowner with respect and aloha. Mahalo to Kaua'i Planning Department staff and leadership for the high quality work you do with such dilligence and to you -members of the Commission -for your time,attention and dedication to quality decision making for the future of Kaua'i's 'aina. With sincerest aloha, ^4^B&<e<.^yi^. Mehana Blaich Vaughan Aloha Members ofthe Planning Commission, Mahalo for reading our letter to Mr.and Mrs.Green about their proposed house. Dear Mr.and Mrs.Green, We liked visiting where you are hoping to build your house. Nihoku is a birds house,a refuge,where birds live.It's not a human's property.It's not the most ideal place.Nihoku is unique for its Sea birds,and also for it's cultural practices performed on it's beatiful land. You have alot of space to build on and it wouldn't hurt even the littlest bit to build further down.It would also be an advantige for everyone because,for example,you would be more protected from the weather and still have a magnifisent view and we wouldn't see your house as we walk up Nihoku. Nihoku is a place where traditional celebrations such as Makahiki,a practice that celebrates some of our most important Akua or Gods such as Lono is held. Please don't build your house on Nihoku because it is for the birds not you.It Is for the community and for us,the keiki. Nihoku means alot to me like,family,It is a place to get away from people and a place to connect with the Aina.It is also a home awayfrom home. .tl OCT26 2021 1 hope you decide not to build your house on our Mauna Nice meetingyou.

In earlier permits granted by the Planning Commission,the Commission determined that the Applicant needed to secure the necessary permits to use a portion of Parcel 7 for parking purposes. (W:/DOCS/27014/5AV0167972.DOCX)9 The proposed 1.3 acre portion ofParcel 7 can accommodate approximately 90 cars.This proposed new parking lot will support the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa's current operations as well as the additional parking needs that might be generated by the recent application to amend SMA (U)88-1,Class IV Zoning Pennit Z-IV-88-10 which was approved by the Planning Commission on December 8,2020 .The parking stalls will be marked as shown on Exhibit "H". The proposed parking lot will be used on a 24-hour basis,as employees ofthe hotel work on shifis that require 24 hour coverage. As part of this Application the Applicant also proposes to increase the amount of agricultural activities on adjacent parcels owned by the Applicant that are zoned Agricultural. Applicant proposes to develop a papaya orchard,a coconut tree farm and an orgaiiic beehive operation on TMK (4)2-9-001-008 and 009 for use by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa as shown on Exhibit "J attached hereto.The papaya orchard will contain approximately thirty-five (35)papaya trees as shown on Exhibit "K."The Ihiits from this orchard will be used by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa.The coconut tree farm will occupy approximately 28,500 square feet ofland as shown on Exhibit "L".The coconuts harvested from the tree farm will also be used by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa in its operations.The coconut trees will also support the organic beehive operation that will adjoin the coconut tree farm as shown on Exhibit L .The bees will assist in the pollination ofthe coconut trees and the honey produced will also be used by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa.The papaya orchard,coconut tree farm and the organic beehive operation in total will be approximately 1 acre in size.This compares to 1 CZO Section 8-5.3(b)requu-es one parking per three hotel rooms.Applicant's subsequent application is for only two additional hotel rooms which requires less than one additional parking stall. (W:/DOCS/27014/5AV0167972,DOCX }10 the .7 acres of land that will paved for the proposed parking lot.The increase in agricultural use does not require a use pennit and is exempt as "development"by the SMA rules and regulations, but is being proposed here to support the application to use land within the SLUC agricultural and CZO agriculture district for parking purposes. XX.DETAILED LAND USE HISTORY OF THE PARCEL.INCLUDING FORMER AND EXISTING STATE AND CQUNTY LAND ^JSE DESIGNATIONS, VIOLATIONS AND USES A.Land Use Desienations.The State Land Use Commission ("SLUC"),Kauai General Plan,County of Kauai Zoning and other relevant land use designations for the Property are as follows: 1.SLUC.The Property is entirely within the SLUC Agricultural District.It has been located in the SLUC Agricultural District since the establishment ofsuch Districts. 2.Kauai General Plan.The Property is currently entirely in the Kauai General Plan Golf Course designation.Under the previous General Plan it was within the Agriculture District. 3.Zonine.Tlie Property is within the Agriculture District.The Property has been zoned as such since the adoption ofthe County's Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1972. B.Development Plan Area.The Property is located in the South Kauai Community Plan Area.It is not located within any ofthe special planning areas nor is this area subject to the new form based code framework. C.Previous Uses.Parcel 7 has been previously used for agriculture purposes.Parcel 7 is currently used for golf course purposes.No land use violations have been issued for Parcel 7.

B.Special Permit.A Special Permit is being requested pursuant to Section 205-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes,in order to allow a use which is not otherwise peiTnissible within the State Land Use Agricultural District.Although Parcel 7 contains more than 15 acres,the proposed parking lot area is only approximately 1.5 acres,which allows this Commission to make any determination regarding the permitting of such use.Section 15-15-95[a)of the Land Use Commission Rules provides,in pertinent part,as follows: Any person who desires to use land within an agricultural or rural district for other than a pemiissible agricultural or rural use may petition the county planning commission within which the land is located for a special pennit to use the land in the manner desired.Special pemiits for areas greater than fifteen acres require approval of both the county planning commission and the [land use] commission ..." The Applicant owns Parcel 7 and operates the Poipu Bay Golf Course.The Applicant has no plans to increase the size of the proposed parking lot which may otherwise trigger Land Use Commission review. Special permits are authorized for "[c]ertain 'unusual and reasonable'uses within agricultural and rural districts other than those for which the district is classified".The applicable guidelines for determining whether a use is "unusual or reasonable"are: {W:/DOCS/27014/5/W0167972.DOCX )13 r r •that the use is not contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by Chapters 205 and 205A,HRS; •that the use is not contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by the rules ofthe Land Use Commission; •that the desired use would not adversely affect sun-ounding property; •that the use would not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads and streets,sewers,water drainage and school improvements,and police and fire protection; •that unusual conditions,trends and needs have arisen since the district boundaries and rules were established;and •that the land upon which the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the uses permitted within the district. C.Class IV Zonins Permit.A Class IV Zoning Permit is a procedural requirement for a Use Permit.See Secs.8-19.6(d)and 8-20.6(a),KCC.

D.Compliance With the Agriculture District.Parcel 7 is zoned Agriculture by the County ofKauai.The purpose ofthe Agriculture District is set forth m Section 8-7.1,KCC,which provides as follows: (a)To protect the agriculture potential of lands within the county of Kauai to insure a resource base adequate to meet the needs and activities of the present and future. (b)To assure a reasonable relationship between the availability of agriculture lands for various agriculture uses and the feasibility ofthose uses. (c)To limit and control the dispersal of residential and urban use within agriculture lands. Although the parking use would probably be deemed to be an "urban use"of agricultural lands,the use of agriculture lands may be used for parking purposes with a use permit and a State {W:/DOCS/27014/5/W0167972.DOCX )19 special permit.Furthermore,the 1988 Permits specifically found that "the evidence is both clear and convincing that the land upon which the proposed use is sought is unsuited for the uses permitted within the Agricultural District"and "The effect ofcloud cover and high minimum and low diumal temperatures on the Pa'a area affects the economic viability and suitability ofthe area for agricultural pursuits,including sugarcane and,although diversification studies have been conducted,none have yielded a productive,successful or economically viable crop that can substitute for cane in this area."1988 Permits,G.Special Permit,Paragraphs No.155 and 159. Despite these conclusions,the Applicant proposes to increase the amount of agricultural uses on its adjacent properties to support the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa operations.See discussion in Section XIX above. XXIH.USE PERMIT AND ZONING PERMIT CONSIDERATIONS. A.Compatibilitv with Surrounding Uses.Parking is a passive act.The nearby uses are residential and resort uses.Providing a parking area in close proximity to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa will encourage people to use the parking area,instead of parking their cars on the streets within the Poipu Kai development or along Poipu Road.Without this parking area to supplement the existing resort parking,hotel guests,event patrons and employees would have no option other than to use on-street parking wherever space might be found.The proposed parking lot is similar in design and landscaping to other parking lots in the area that serve their development. B.Not detrimental to the neighborhood.A use pennit may be approved by the Plarming Commission if it finds that the proposed use is "not detrimental to health,safety,peace, morals,comfort and the general welfare ofpersons residing or working in the neighborhood."The (W:/DOCS/27014/5/W0167972.DOCX)20 Applicant believes that the constmction of the proposed parking lot eiAances the safety,peace, moral,comfort and general welfare of persons residing and working in the area.Having guests and employees park in the proposed parking lot rather than on Poipu Road or other side streets in the area makes for safer roads and walking conditions within the neighborhood.Employees and residents alike would benefit ifthe proposed parking lot is allowed to be built. C.Not cause substantial harmfal environiTiental consequences.The proposed parking lot will not cause substantial harmful environmental consequences on the land of the Applicant or on other lands or waters.The parking lot will be setback and landscaped from Poipu Road and the residential areas.Drainage from the parking lot will be handled by the existing drainage culverts.There will be no wastewater or solid waste generated by this use and the proposed use does not involve the storage or use of hazardous materials. D.Consistent with General Plan and South Kauai Community Plan.As outlined in Section XXII above,fhe proposed paiking lot is consistent with the Kauai General Plan and the South Kauai Community Plan. XXIV.STATE LAND USE COMPLIANCE A.State Land Use Aericultural District.The Subject Property is designated Agricultural by the State Land Use Commission.The proposed parking lot use may be allowed if it is determined to be an unusual and reasonable use within the Agricultural District. Under the criteria set forth by the Land Use Commission,the use of a portion of Parcel 7 for employee and overflow parking is not contrary to the objective sought to be accomplished by HRS Chapter 205.The use ofthe 1.3 acre portion ofParcel 7 will not cause or hinder the continual use of the rest of Parcel 7 for golf course use,which is a recognized agricultural use imder {W:/DOCS/270I4/5nV0167972.DOCX }21 HRS Chapter 205-4.5(a)(7).The use of this 1.3 acre pOTtion will not adversely affect the surrounding property,in particular,the rest ofthe Poipu Bay GolfCourse nor the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa which is located right across Poipu Road from the proposed parking lot.The proposed parking lot use will not unreasonably burden public agencies to provide roads,streets, sewer,drainage,school improvements,police and fire protection.Poipu Road immediately abuts the proposed parking lot and drainage will be handled by the existing drainage culverts that serve Parcel 7.Since there are no building or dwellings planned,no additional sewer connections or capacity will be required,nor will the existing schools be impacted.The new proposed parking lot will not require any additional police or fire protection. Since the district boundaries were established 46 years ago (in 1963),the trends and needs in the Poipu area have changed dramatically.Over the years the adjoining properties have developed with resort and residential uses and this area of Parcel 7 may not be suitable for full agricultural activities.See Discussion in Section XXII above.It would not be unreasonable to use Agricultural land directly across the street from these resort and resort residential uses,as an adjunct to those urban uses and activities,especially since the use is ofapassive type. As outlined in Section XII.D above,the area has been found by the Planning Commission to be unsuited for the uses pennitted within the Agricultural District and that area's attributes affect the economic viability and suitability of agricultural pursuits.Nevertheless,the Applicant proposes as part ofthis Application to increase the amount of agricultural activities on adjacent parcels owned by the Applicant.The proposed papaya orchard,coconut tree farm and organic beehive operation will increase by one acre the amount of agricultural land being used for productive agricultural.This compares with the .7 acres ofland that will actually be paved for the (W:/DOCS/27014/SW0167972.DOCX}22 proposed parking lot.The crop produced from papaya orcfaard,the coconut tree farm and the organic beehive operation will be used by the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa.These increases in productive agriculture uses can only be made through the support ofthe adjacent hotel and resort uses. XXV.ANALYSIS OF SECONDARY^IMPACTS OFPROPOSED USE A.Propertv Values.The fair market value ofreal property,for assessment purposes, is based on the value ofthe land and physical improvements,and upon comparable sales.The use ofa portion ofParcel 7 is not expected to increase the value ofParcel 7.The Applicant does not believe that its proposal will of itself trigger increases in values of surrounding properties.The fair market value ofParcel 7 will increase due to the added value ofan improved parking lot. B.Population.No population changes are expected to result from securing permission to use a portion ofParcel 7 for parking purposes. C.Housing.No additional housing needs are reasonably expected to result from the parking use. D.Community Services and Facility Needs.Allowing parking on a portion of the Parcel 7 is not expected to generate a need to provide community services,or create a need for facilities. E.Secondary Jobs.No secondary jobs are expected to result from the issuance of permits to use a portion of Parcel 7 for parking purposes. F.Emplovment.No newjobs are expected to result from the issuance ofthe permits to use a portion of Parcel 7 for parking puqioses. (W:/DOCS/27014/5AV0167972.DOCX )23 XXVI.WATER SOURCE,SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SY«TEM ANALYSIS, INCLUDING IRRIGATION A.Water Source and Supply.The Applicant's proposal to use part of Parcel 7 for parking purposes will not trigger a need to connect to additional potable water sources.Irrigation for the proposed landscaping surrounding the proposed parkuig lot will be handled through the existing water sources that currently are used to irrigate Parcel 7. B.Irrieation Water.Irrigation water is already available for Parcel 7 and will be used to irrigate the landscaping for the proposed parking lot. XXVII SEWAGE DISPOSAL ANALYSIS Sewage disposal is not required. XXVIII.SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ANALYSIS Solid waste disposal is not required. XXIX.ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS,HABITAT AND BQTANICAL FEATURES As noted in Sections XI and XV above,there are no environmentally sensitive areas, habitat or botanical features on Parcel 7. XXX.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A.Properties in the Vicinifry.Immediately to the south is Poipu Road and across Poipu Road is the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa.To the north,east and west is the Poipu Bay Golf Course. B.Historical Uses.Parcel 7 was previously used for sugar cane cultivation.In 1990, an Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS")wasdoneaspai1:ofthepennitstoconstructthePoipu Bay Golf Course.This AIS did not identify any archaeological,cultural or historical sites on or {W:/DOCS/27014/5/W0167972.DOCX;24 adjacent to the proposed parking lot area.The Applicant has submitted an HRS 6E Submittal Form to request a determination from the State of Hawaii Historic Preservation Dlvision whether additional archaeological work needs to be done for the proposed parking lot area. The Applicant is not aware of any existing archaeological,cultural or historical resources on the surface where the proposed parking lot will be constmcted. C.Noise.The primary noise sources in the area are generated by traffic.The parking lot is not expected to generate extended periods of unacceptable levels ofnoise. D.Air Ouality.The State Department ofHealth,Clean Air Branch,regularly sainples ambient air quality at monitoring stations throughout the State and publishes the information in the Hawaii Air Quality Data.The monitoring station sampling particulate matter closest to the Subject Property is located in Lihue,over 25 miles away.There are no monitoring stations for carbon monoxide on Kauai. The State ofHawaii Ambient Air Quality Standards ("AAQS")for carbon monoxide are considerably more stringent than the comparable Federal AAQS.According to Hawaii Air Quality Data,between January 1988 and December 1990,ofthe 1,013 samples taken,there was only one incident where the State standard for carbon monoxide was exceeded and there were none relating to the federal standard. F.Economic Benefits.The use of a portion of the Paicel 7 will create a short-term benefit during the constmction ofthe parking lot,but is not expected to create long-term economic benefits. (W:/DOCS/27014/5AV0167972.DOCX )25 G.Visual Resources.Parcel 7 is fronted by Poipu Road.The proposed parking lot will be setback approximately 25'from Poipu Road and earthen berms and landscaping will shield the parking lot from Poipu Road.Neither the parking lot,nor cars parked within the parking lot, will impair or significantly change any ofthe existmg mauka views along Poipu Road. H.Cultural Practices.The Applicant has checked with Sandi Puanani Quinsaat,who is the project manager and Hawaiian Cultural Advisor for the Grand Hyatt Kauai Hotel &Spa. Ms.Quinsaat sits on the Board ofDirectors for Na Hui O Kaneiolouma Heiau.Ms.Quinsaat has been working on the property since 1998 and confirmed that there are no culturally significant activities or practices that are occurring within the proposed parking lot site.Based on this input, the Applicant does not believe the proposed development will have an impact on any known cultural practices,including any traditional or customary practices of native Hawaiians.In addition,the proposed parking lot area has been developed and used continuously as part of the Poipu Bay Golf Course since at least the early 1 990s.The Applicant will continue to protect and preserve sites that have been identified by the previous AIS that are located within the Poipu Bay GolfCourse. XXIX.CONCLUSION The Applicant respectfully requests that the Plaiming Commission: 1.Find that the requested amendment to the 1988 Permit is consistent or otherwise compatible with uses in the SLUC Agricultural District,the Kauai General Plan Golf Course Use Designation,and the Agriculture District. (W:/DOCS/27014/5AV0167972.DOCX }26 2.Approve an amendment to the 1988 Permits to authorize the use of a portion of Parcel 7 for parking purposes.

As noted in the Application,the original approval of the project required the Applicant to provide parking facilities at various locations through the site to accommodate golf course patrons and public members.The parkiag facilities would also be available to coastal recreational users. VI.APPLICANT'S REASONS/JUSTIFICATION 1.Reauest As noted m the Application,parking issues have been brought up by the Planning Commission in other permits withm the Poipu area.More specifically,there has been concems expressed by the general public of vehicular parking along Poipu Road fronting the Grand Hyatt Regency and during events held at the resort. The mtent of this application is to address the concems raised by the Planning Commission and the community.The proposed development affects a 1.3-acre portion of Parcel 7 and accommodates approximately 90 vehicles.This proposed new parkmg lot will support the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa's curreut operations as well as the additional parking needs for the area.It will be setback &om Poipu Road and landscaped to mitigate any visual concems.Preliminary design drawings of the proposed parking layout are represented in Exhibits 'F'&'G'ofthe Application.

VIII.PRELIMINARY EVALUATION In evaluating the Applicaut's development proposal,the following aspects are being considered: 1.GENERALPLAN The proposed development satisfies the following policies of the General Plan,as taken from Sections 1.3 &1.4: Section 1.3,entitled "VISION AND GOALS" a.Goal #1 A Sustainable Island"-The project is an example of responsible growth in an area designated for resort and open space uses.The Applicant will implement environmentally enhancing initiatives (landscape utilizing native species). b.Goal #2 "A Unique and Beautiful Place"-The project would continue to compliment the natural,cultural,social and built environmental assets of the South Shore communities (Po'ipu/Kukui'ula area).It will further support the surrounding resort opportunities,as originally represented in 1988,and remains complementaTy and compatible to uses m the area.As designed,the project mcorporates landscaping that enhances the appearance of the resort area. 4 |Page SMA(U)-88-10,Z-IV-88-39,U-88-3L SP-88-6;Dlrector's Report Kawailoa Development LLP, 09.27.2021 c.Goal #3 "A Healthy and Resilient People"-There will be mmimal visual impacts since the project area will feature landscaped berms.No significant negative impacts on historic sites or Hawaiian cultural practices are anticipated. d.Goal #4 "An Equitable Place,with Opportunity for All"-The project would support and enhance economic and business opportunities and jobs on Kaua'i. Section 1.4,entitled "POLICIES TO GUIDE GROWTH" a.Policy #1 "Manage Growth to Preserve Rural Character"-The proposed parking lot is within fhe Kaua'i General Plan Golf Course district.Even with fhe proposed parking lot most of Parcel 7 will still be used for golf course purposes.The proposed parking lot will not substantially change the use or character ofthe remaming portions of Parcel 7. b.Policy #4 "Design Healthy and Complete Neighborhoods"-The proposed parking lot is located across Po'ipu Road from the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa and within waLkiag distance for the hotel's guests and employees.Having a parking lot available to the guests and employees of the hotel across the street is consistent with good design.The parking lot will reduce the number of vehicles currently parked on the mauka shoulder ofPo'ipu Road.This will improve the visual environment of the area and make Po'ipu Road a safer place for pedestrians and traffic. c.Policy #8 "Protect Kauai's Scenic Beauty"-Through proper mitigative measures,the project should not have any substantial negative impacts on the visual resources in the South Shore area.The proposed parking lot will be set back from Po'ipu Road and will be landscaped.The proposed parking lot will uot interfere with views towards the mountain nor is it near any scenic byways,open space acquisition priorities,recognized preserve areas or wetlands. d.Policy #11 "Help Agricultural Land be Productive"-The proposed parkuig lot will have minimal impact on the Poipu Bay Golf Course (originally recognized as an agricultuial use).As part ofthis Application,additional lands will be placed in active agricultural uses such as a papaya orchard,a coconut tree farm and an organic beehive operation fhat would provide support to the resort facility.These active agricultural uses will be used by the adjoinmg Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort &Spa whose employees and guests will be using the new proposed parkmg lot. e.Policy #15 "Respect Native Hawaiian Right and Wahi Pana"-As previously discussed in the original Application,the project would not have any substantial impacts to any historic sites,Hawaiian traditional and cultuial practices,or access to streams,shorelines,or areas associated with Hawaiian religious,traditional or cultural practices.It is further discussed is Section XXX.H.of the Application. f.Policy #16 Protect Access to Kauai's Treasure Places"-The project does not have any negative impacts on the public's access to streams,the shoreline,trails, recreational areas,or places associated with Hawaiian religious,traditional or cultural practices. 2.SOUTH KAUA'I COMMUNFTY PLAN (SKCP) The proposed parking lot follows the policies ofthe South Kaua'i Community Plan.The proposed parking lot is consistent with fhe walkable community policies m that it will SMA(U)-88-10,Z-IV-88-39,U-88-31,SP-88-6;Dlrector'8 Report Kawailoa Development LLP. 09.27.2021 promote safe,pedestrian friendly streets that contains less vehicles parked wifhin the road right-of-way.Rather than have guests and employees park along Po'ipu Road as it presently existing,guests and employees will now be parking within an improved parking are located offofPo'ipuRoad.In addition,Section 4.3.3 ofthe South Kaua'i Community Plan specifically recognizes that "parking is essential to support businesses,particularly m the transition when there is not adequate public transit service or safe pedestrian and bicycle facilities built...." 3.SMA RULES AND REGULATIONS It should be noted that at the time the pennits were considered m 1988,the development of the golf course and its related amenities were located mostly within the Special Management Area (SMA).The present SMA boundary follows the Po'ipu Road aligmnent. The proposed development is located mauka ofPo'ipu Road and is outside ofthe SMA. As such,the project is not subjected to the applicable SMA policies and criteria. 4.SPECIAL PERMIT STANDARDS Pursuant to Chapter 205 ofthe Hawai'i Revised Statutes (HRS)and its Rules of Practice and Procedures,the Planning Commission may approve a Special Permit under such protective restrictions as may deemed necessary if it finds that the proposed use is an unusual and reasonable use of land situated within the State Land Use Agricultural District,and that the use would promote the effectiveness and objectives of Chapter 205,HRS.The Plarming Commission in 1988 approved the subject permit in consideration of the following guidelines in determining unusual and reasonable use: (1)Such use shall not be contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by Chapters 205 and 205A,HRS,and the Kules ofthe Land Commission. An intent of the State law is to assure that agricultural lands with a high capacity for intense cultivation be afforded the highest protection of agricultural purposes,and the uses allowed on other agriculture lands be compatible with such agricultural uses. The use is not contrary to the objectives sought to be accomplished by the State Land Use Commission as the proposed project is compatible to the urban surroundings and is ui the vicinity of a similar use and does not displace or reduce any existing agricultural use within the project site.While it may be argued that the proposal introduces urban uses into the State Agricultural Land Use District and displaces approximately 1+acre of land that can be utilized for agricultural purposes,it should be considered that the Applicant is proposing to dedicate a similar area into agriculture that establishes a papaya farm,coconut tree nursery,and apiary.As represented, the agriculture use would support the resort use occurring on the neighboring parcel. SMA(U)-88-10,Z-IV-88-39,U-88-31,SP-S8-6;Dlrector's Raport Kawailoa Development LLP, 09.27.2021 6 |Page (2)The desired use would not adversely affecting surrounding property. The proposed use should not adversely affect the nature of the surrounding properties and is compatible to the adjacent resort and golf course driving range facility.Furthermore,since this area was previously under agriculture cultivation and now fallow,there will be no irrevocable loss to natural, scenic,cultural,historical or archaeological resource or sites.As such,the use should not significantly affect the surrounding properties. (3)The use would not unreasonably burden puUic agencies toprovide roadsand streets,sewers,water,drainage,school improvements,andpolice andfire protection. The facility already has all the necessary in&astructure requirements in place,and there should be no additional burden placed on the County to provide further improvements (4)Unusual conditions,trends,and needs have arisen since the district boundaries and rules were established. At the time the project was originally considered in 1988,there was a growing trend in the visitor industry and the golfing industry since the Agricultural District was first established.The project would further support these industiies and would not adversely affect the agricultural integrity for the remainder of the parcel. (5)The land upon which the use is sought is unsuitedfor the usespermitted in the District. As represented in the Application,the subject parcel was primarily fallow prior to its development,and only a portion located away from the shoreline area was suitable for intensive agriculture.The area being developed is not in agriculture use and primarily serves as a landscape buffer between the golf course and Po'ipu Road. 5.USEPERMTT STANDARDS Pursuant to Article 20 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO),Chapter 8 of the Kaua'i County Code (1987),the purpose of the Use Permit procedure is to assure the proper mtegration mto the community of uses which may be suitable only m specific location of a district,or only under certain conditions,or only if the uses are designed,arranged or conducted in a particular manner,and to prohibit fhe uses if proper integration cannot be assured.Section 8-20.5 of the CZO specifies a Use Pennit may be granted only if the Planning Commission finds that the use meets the following cntena: SMA(U)-88-10,Z-IV-88-39.U-88-31,SP-88-6;Dlrector's Report Kawaiioa Development LLP. 09.27.2021 7|Page o COMPATIBLE USE -As previously mentioned,the proposed facility is adjacent to urban uses along its southem and eastem boundaries.The parking area is situated across the Grand Hyatt Kaua'i Resort &Spa and adjacent to Hole No.1 of the Po'ipu Bay Golf Course.While the proposal facility is considered a passive use,it benefits the area by supplemental parking for the golf course driving range facility as well as the nearby resort.It can also be utilized for event patrons and resort employees.As proposed,the parking lot is similar in design and will feature heavy landscaping m order to minimize any visual impact along Po'ipu Road.Although the property is located within the Agriculture District,it has not been on agricultural use and intensive agricultural operations currently occur further west along Ala Kinoiki. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding uses and is not expected to impact the agricultural activities. o WILL NOT BE DETRIMENTAL TO PERSONS RESIDING OR PROPERTY IN THE AREA -The Applicant contends that the construction of the proposed parking lot enhances the safety,peace,moral,comfort and general welfare of persons residing and working in the area.The project makes for safer roads and walking conditions within the neighborhood since it would have guests of the resort and golf course,as well as employees park within a designated area rather than along Po ipu Road or other side streets in the area. o WILL NOT CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL HARMRJL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES -The project site has been previously developed for agricultural purposes pre-1988 and is unlikely that rare,threatened or endangered species,or sensitive habitat will be affected by the proposed use.Due to the extensive ground disturbance ofpast farming activities on site,it is unlikely that cultural resources or historic sites will be impacted by the project. It is further noted that drainage from the parkmg lot will be handled by existing drainage culverts in the vicinity of the project site.There will be no wastewater or solid waste generated by this use and the proposed use does not involve the storage or use of hazardous materials. O WILL NOT BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF THE CZO AND GENERAL PLAN -The development of the golf course as its amenities was previously considered through a Use Pennit.As previously mentioned,the project supplements the parking for the golf course as well as the nearby resort.The project would be in compliance with the General Plan,as previously discussed m Item No.1.above.The Applicant should realize that intensive agricultural activities occur on nearby lands.Impacts such as dust,noise,and odors my affect the project site. 6.KCC DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS &APPLICABLE REOUIREMENTS As proposed,the project complies with the development standards contamed in 8|Page SMA(U)-88-10,Z-IV-88-39,U-88-31,SP-88-6;Dlrector's Report Kawailoa De\/e!opment LLP. 09.27.2021 Sections 8-4.3,8-4.5,and 8-8.2 ofthe Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO).It is further noted that this project is subject to the conditions previously imposed with the permit and that they remain in effect.In further consideration of the project,the following is recognized: a.On-Site Parkine:As represented in the Application,there is adequate off-street parking that serves the golf course and the resort.In an effort minimize traffic impacts to tbe surrounding area,the Applicant is reminded that during the constmction of the project,an on-site parkmg area shall be designated for constmction workers.Workers are discouraged from parking along fhe Po'ipu Road right-of-way and nearby roadways. b.Visual Mitipation:In order to further ensuie that the project is compatible with its surroundings and to minimize the visual impact of the project,the earthen berm situated along Po'ipu Road should be a mmimum four (4)feet in height and heavily landscaped with native species.
